The occurrence of Methyl 4-(4-iodophenoxy)benzoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Methyl 4-(4-iodophenoxy)benzoate (CAS 21120-76-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H11IO3 and a molecular weight of 354.14 g/mol.
The molecular framework of Methyl 4-(4-iodophenoxy)benzoate (C14H11IO3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 4-(4-iodophenoxy)benzoate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
